Johnbee58 164 Posted October 19 Great production with lots of nice harmonies. It all goes together nicely. The words are uplifting and delightful. 🙂John B. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeeringAmps 137 Posted October 20 Well sung, excellent job on the harmonies, vocally and note selection. I might let the acoustic push a bit more, maybe spread it across the sound stage or bring up the verb on it on the right side? Just some things I would try if I was mixing it. Overall a big👍 Tom 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freddy j 117 Posted October 20 What a nice happy, cheerful song. A great melody and lyrics carry it right along. Your vocals are excellent as are the harmonies. Mix sounds good to me. Nice one!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noynekker 13 Posted October 21 (edited) Hello ABull . . . it's positively positive ! I really especially like the intro acoustic guitar, it sets up the tone of what is to come. The vocals are very upfront in the mix, and this works very well for my ears. My minor niggle would be in the middle section (which I really like) the "Happy to be Me" vocal kind of gets lost when the instruments come back in, and I think it's an important point in the song which should be heard more. Anyways, great stuff, and I also like the unpredictable way you end this. Edited October 21 by noynekker 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starise 154 Posted October 22 This has a nice retro feel I don't often hear. I feel like I'm back in 1973 11 years old and listening to a tune on the radio. I hope you understand that this is a high compliment from me on this because I really like that stuff!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Douglas Kirby 118 Posted October 25 I liked your lead vocal on this one - especially the echo you put on it. Cool tune - it hooked me in for the listen. I thought the bass could come up a bit more in the mix. Overall, excellent job - thanks for posting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garybrun 179 Posted October 25 Hi Allan. (going through a lot of songs now Im back on line as promised) Are you influenced by the Beatles? liked the arrangement and vocal harmonies. I can hear that you don't use auto tune... not meant in a bad way. Its very retro and 60's sounding. Mix wise (again just my opinions) its very middle based. I would like to hear more tone and separation. Your composition skills are amazing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
